Trapping Radio 2.0 Trapping Radio 2.0

This Week on Trapping Across America we are looking at how we are trained to think as adults and why this way of thinking can hurt your trapping. Most of us want to do what we are told to think. Like where is the right place to put a trap at a coyote set? Where does the trap go on a raccoon set out on the water or a pocket set? You have a trap placement in mind, but why, where did you get your ideas from? have you challenged these ideas.
Most trapping is done with the grown up adult way of thinking. Sounds right, but this way of thinking does not leave a lot of room for discovering the things out on your own trap line. Kids discover for the sake of discovery, you want to be a better trapper, you should really be open to discovery. You might find that little kid that has to ask why and why not. Discovery is the key to find better and faster ways to trap. I will be talking about something that I have been playing around, ….the Portable Pocket. It has opened my eyes.

This week on Trapping Across America we have the one and only Jeff Dunlap with us. We are talking about the internet, the bad side and the good side of how it is part of trapping today. The bottom line, we as trappers can and should use social media platforms and forums to help each other, not attack and demean other trappers. We have PETA for that already. If you do not want your wife, mom or grandmother to see your ranting, maybe some thought should be put into your post before you hit enter. Next I get to talk to Jeff about his trapping and road trapping in Louisiana.
Note from Clint….we are not calling any trapper schizophrenic, a socialist or bitter. We are talking about the thought process that comes across on-line. We are not talking about ……a single person or a single trapper. So don’t jump to a conclusion that is not based off of facts.

In this weeks episode of Trapping Radio 2.0 Jeff Dunlap (Dunlap Lures) talks about all things muskrat trapping! Enjoy!

This week on Trapping Across America, we have….well me….Clint Locklear. I am getting interviewed by Norm Blackwell. He thought this would be interesting to do, so he could ask me questions about what it was like for me becoming a professional trapper. For years Norm thought I had money somehow when I got started, boy was he mistaken. Becoming a pro trapper is different for everyone, for me it was by the skin of my teeth. One thing I was sure of, I was going to make it, security be damned. So if you are struggling to make your dream come true, it may suck sometimes, but worth every bowl of Ramen you have to eat.

In this weeks episode Jeff Dunlap (Dunlap Lures) talks about getting ready for conventions and a recap of out our out-of-state trapping trips over the season. We hope to see you this summer at a convention! Check our facebook/websites for complete list of conventions we will be attending. Enjoy!

This Week on Trapping Across America we have the trapping machine Brandon Johnson. We were together on a control job while we were filming Trapping TV in the south. One night after everything got quite I talked him into giving us an interview for Trapping Radio. A lot of you have seen some of his catch photo’s on Facebook and other places. It is impressive to say the least. Brandon is from Ohio, but state hops to keep piling up fur. He is known for a raccoon, beaver and otter trapper, but I can tell you from being with him, he can catch what ever he targets. I think you get a kick out of this interview, I hope it fires up some guys to copy Brandon work ethic.
